Love's Torment

Suicide

Love has been denied me
An ashen face stares into a mirror
Devoid of hope, filled with disgust
I'm tearing at my heart
So I won't have to feel
There's blood in my hands, but I don't care
I've fallen and I don't have the strength
To rise
I'm running away from love's grip
Holding a cross and beating myself with it
This depression is sharper than any razor
I'm searching for myself amongst these ashes
I'm floating away on the winds of tomorrow
As I softly bleed searching for a
Glimmer of happiness, of a sorrowless night
To taste
Love has been ripped from me
Scars caused by vain intolerance
Mar the youth of this world
As a star falls in silent salutation
Proclaiming its message of hope through despair
I slump to the ground holding my bleeding self up
As the morning emerges and I cry softly
To myself
Death leads me by the hand,
Holds me in its loveless grip,
Tastes my flesh, drinks my blood
Death laughs her painful words of truth
I look into her ebony eyes
And raise my crystal goblet of blood and drink
To Death

I enjoyed reading your poem, I can see why it was hard for you to write this on paper. It's like you are letting everyone see your open sores.
Excellent write. |

You opened your wounds and bared them for all to see. This poem is truly amazing. So deep and powerful yet so sad. This would definatley have to be one of my favourites from you, though I like all your poems because I can relate to them so well. You write with such emotion and such beauty. I really liked this poem.

The sound of your soul weeping is quite evident in this somber,gripping,yet beautiful work of art. I pray your soul finds the light...before the goblet absorbs you into the dark abyss. {{{{{Joel}}}}}

| This. Is. Incredible. The fact that it is so deeply personal and emotionally gripping makes it all the more fascinating to read. It's worth the wait, Joel, because this is a terrific piece of dark art. |
